The transfer fee is reported to be around €20 million, with potential bonuses amounting to an additional €5 million. This investment underscores Frankfurt's ambition to strengthen their attacking options following the departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City.
Wahi brings a notable track record from Ligue 1, having scored 44 goals during his tenure in the French top division. His speed and goal-scoring instincts are expected to complement fellow French striker Hugo Ekitiké, as Frankfurt aims to bolster their offensive lineup in pursuit of Champions League qualification.
After successfully completing his medical examination, Wahi is anticipated to make his debut for Eintracht Frankfurt in the upcoming home match against Wolfsburg on February 2. Expressing his enthusiasm, Wahi stated, "I am happy to be with Eintracht from now on. This is a big club, from which I have heard a lot of positive things."
Sporting director Markus Krösche commented on the acquisition, saying, "We have been following Elye Wahi for a long time and are pleased that he will now play for Eintracht. Elye is a fast striker with a good presence in the box and a pronounced goal instinct."
